Accountable and ING join forces to offer to new self-employed professionals their bank & accounting in one same place

Any self-employed professional who started less than 18 months ago and opened their professional bank account with ING will now automatically benefit from Accountable BASIC for free. Concretely, this means that these new self-employed will see in real-time what they can actually spend, out of the balance visible on their ING accounts. They will enjoy a complete overview of their next taxes, VAT & social contributions obligations together with smart receipt management & invoices' personalisation. Accountable BASIC allows for a seamless communication with the accountant, thanks to its dedicated interface. In short, these self-employed will be able to cover all of their tax and accounting obligations from their phones: this is beyond banking, tailored to thee needs of the new self-employed. Nicolas, co-founder & CEO of Accountable :"This partnership highlights the strong stand that ING has been taking to help self-employed professionals optimise their finances and take advantage from the best tools available on the market, beyond banking. We are honoured to bring such a concrete benefit to starters." ING Belgium is excited to partner with the software leader in taxes for self-employed professionals. It is confident that the offer will benefit the thousands of clients that benefit from the bank 's Starter Package. ING is also excited about the potential of Accountable BASIC to help Belgian accountants and tax advisors save time and focus on high value tasks. ING and Accountable have been collaborating since the early days of Accountable, when the start-up joined the ING Labs program in 2018. All information available on the ING website on this link.

J’ai apprécié la simplicité d’utilisation d’Accountable et la clarté de l’interface. Les démarches sont bien expliquées, ce qui facilite vraiment la gestion administrative. Le service client est aussi réactif et professionnel, c’est rassurant. Pour l’amélioration, peut-être encore plus de tutoriels ou de guides pour les nouveaux utilisateurs afin de découvrir toutes les fonctionnalités plus rapidement.

Accountable est un logiciel que je trouve très simple à utiliser. L’interface offre une vue d’ensemble claire et suffisante pour gérer efficacement les informations importantes, sans complexité inutile. La prise en main est rapide, même sans connaissances approfondies, ce qui rend l’expérience fluide dès le départ. Le support par chat est particulièrement réactif et efficace ; les réponses arrivent rapidement et sont pertinentes. Cet accompagnement ajoute un réel confort et rend l’utilisation du logiciel encore plus agréable au quotidien.

Zeer aan te raden! Ik heb enorm veel bijgeleerd. Ze helpen je echt heel goed en nemen de tijd om alles uit te leggen. Ik wist helemaal niets over belastingen en dergelijke, en hoewel ik nog steeds niet alles weet, heeft Accountable mij echt enorm geholpen. Topservice!

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
